And how have Kino students done in college?

 

"When I got to college, I found I was definitely better prepared than many of my classmates. At Kino, I had learned to take responsibility for myself and manage my time. I was comfortable talking to my professors and asking for help when I needed it."

---- Blair was a Kino student for 12 years, from the time he was 6. He graduated from Bates College in May, 2000. He now works at The Churchill School in New York City.

 

In 2001, when Janet was a freshman at Mount Holyoke, we reported in the Kino Connection

“Janet (‘The Stress Queen’) says Kino apparently has taught her how to organize her time for long-term projects, as she got through the fall semester and the 14 papers she had to write with surprisingly little stress. The first semester of Past and Present, basically Western Civilization, included material she’d read in her junior year literature class, including portions of the Bible, Oedipus Rex, and Hamlet. ‘I don’t mean to sound snooty,’ she says, ‘But the class discussions we had at Kino were, frankly, more interesting.’”

Janet graduated from Mount Holyoke magna cum laude in 2004.

 

After her first semester of college physics at Bryn Mawr, Angelina wrote, “Don’t tell Ed, because I know I used to give him a hard time about this, but it turns out he was right. Memorizing the formulas isn’t important. What has been important is knowing how to think through a physics problem, and his classes really taught me how to do that.”

Angelina graduated from Bryn Mawr in 2005 and is now working towards a doctorate in art history at Northwestern University.

 

 

 

 

In 2006, two Kino graduates were among the 110 artists in the Society of Illustrators' juried show of the best art by college-level art students nationwide.
